WHERE'S TRUMP? MacGregor Asks Why President-Elect Failed to Condemn Long-Range Missile Approval for Ukraine

Professor John Mearsheimer said in an interview in September that despite his bluster, Trump will likely maintain the status quo

President-elect Donald Trump should have issued a statement right after it was revealed that the Biden administration lifted its ban on Ukraine to use Western-provided long-range missiles to strike targets deep inside Russia, Col. Douglas MacGregor (ret.), posted on X.

“Why has President Trump failed to condemn this cheap device as an attempt to overturn the election results??” his post read.

The Biden administration used the claim that North Koreans are fighting alongside the Russians as one of the reasons for approving these strikes, which MacGregor also rejected as pure propaganda.

“There are no North Korean Troops West of the Urals. It’s another lie invented by MI6/CIA in a final futile attempt to breath life into Washington and NATO’s anti-Russian campaign,” he posted.

There are questions about how Trump will approach the conflict, despite his claims that he will end things “very quickly.”

In May, former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson praised Trump for his effort to secure the $61 billion package for Ukraine.

CNN reported that “almost immediately” after House Speaker Mike Johnson secured the speaker’s gavel, “he began to hear directly from critical Republican national security voices – including Donald Trump’s former secretary of state, Mike Pompeo, who impressed upon him the urgent need to approve assistance for Ukraine in its fight against Russia’s invasion.”

Professor John Mearsheimer said in an interview in September that despite his bluster, Trump will likely maintain the status quo in Washington and continue to support Ukraine’s war effort against Russia.

“The principal cause of that is that [Russian President Vladimir] Putin’s demands are not something that Trump can easily accept,” he told Shanghai Eye.

Mearsheimer noted how Putin said earlier this summer that he has two demands before he even sits down for negotiations with the West: 1) the four eastern Ukrainian oblasts that Russia annexed are Russian territory; 2) Ukraine cannot join NATO and must be declared a neutral state.

Trump was asked during his earlier debate with U.S. President Joe Biden if he would agree to those preconditions, and he said he would not.

“So if he doesn't agree to those preconditions, there will be no negotiations, and there will be no settlement,” he said.

Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy chairman of Russia’s national security council, downplayed the chances of improved relations between the U.S. and Moscow in September — even if Trump was elected. The Putin associate said Trump is nothing more than an “establishment insider.”

Trump addressed the Economic Club of New York at the time and was asked about the sanctions that the Biden administration imposed on Russia. The former president said he wants to employ sanctions “as little as possible.”

Medvedev took to Telegram to say Trump made the comments out of “spite for the current administration,” Newsweek reported.

“Will he really do it if elected? No, of course not,” Medvedev said. “For all his apparent bravado as an ‘outsider,’ Trump is ultimately an establishment insider. Yes, he is an eccentric narcissist but he is also a pragmatist. As a businessman, Trump understands that sanctions harm the dollar's dominance in the world. However, that's insufficient reason to stage a revolution in the United States and go against the anti-Russian line of the notorious Deep State, which is much stronger than any Trump.”
